Edwardsia arenosa [Edwardsia arenosa]
Description
As its name suggests, this species is often associated with sandy bottoms, where it can be surprisingly well camouflaged. Divers may see it as a small, tentacled anemone emerging from the substrate, ready to capture plankton as currents bring food within reach.
